Compelling Vision Process - Atlantic Northeast District The Church of the Brethren stands at a crossroads. Recent decades have been defined by paralyzing conflict. In response to the ongoing conflict, at the 2017 Annual Conference, the delegate body affirmed a report from the Leadership Team and the Council of District Executives regarding “The Authority of Annual Conference and Districts regarding the Accountability of Ministers, Congregations, and Districts.” That report concluded with this assertion: “To stay on the journey together, it is also crucial that the church discern the compelling vision that this body of Christ is called to pursue.” ( from brethren.org/ac/compelling vision) Click here for a much more extensive explanation. We hope you will join us on this journey. Compelling Vision Dates Scheduled for the ANE District

Online Registration Congregations sending advisors to any District sponsored events must also submit the Congregational Verification of Youth Leaders Form prior to any advisor attending.
